Trevor Matich and lines of Bama v. top teams
Oct 11, 2018, 9:48 AM

1st: v. Clemson -7.5 v. UGA -8.5 v. aOSU -8.5
Then Trevor M goes on to say how the only team that can compete with Bama which has the most complete team is Notre Dame! Lost some respect for him on that. They are definitely good, but to say they are more complete than Clemson, UGA, or aOSU is absurd. ND is closer to those four than they are to Bama.
Anybody else catch that?

ND vs Clemson - based on 1st 6 games.
Total Offense - Clemson Passing Offense - Clemson Rushing Offense- Clemson Total Defense - Clemson Rushing Defense - Clemson Passing Defense - Clemson Results vs. common opponent - Clemson.
Those are the facts. Matich’s opinion is based on something other than facts.

The talking heads are all over the place from week to week. One week it's the cantankerous leprechauns, another week it's the Bucknuts, another it's the Uggas. The best response to all of this? Win and win convincingly.

I think a lot of these guys are thinking " Freshman QB and inexperienced backups . "
Trevor and Chase lack the snaps as starters but Clemson nation knows how special we are at that position . Let them keep guessing wrong .
It will all be revealed when the bulls go to market .

No doubt. We do better when coming from behind, as it seems right now.

Having watched all teams mentioned in post I do not think ND scores 13 against our Defense. tOSU 17 and the Mutts 17. The question is does our offense score more than that against their defenses, I think yes.

I dont know where some of you get these crazy notions

TAMU scored 26 and Cuse scored 23 on us in DV, but 3 top 5 teams can't score more than 17? Take off the glasses, lay off the koolaid, and take it easy on the liquor.

Syracuse got 10 points off of 2 turnovers. About 35 yards of offense for those 10***

Yes, and those things happen fairly frequently.

In our 3 games against Bama in the CFP they have gotten the following:
-A TD following a DW4 INT in our own territory in 2015 -A TD following a surprise onside kick in 2015 -A TD on a KO return in 2015 -A FG following a fumble in our own territory in 2016 -A TD following a long INT return deep into our territory in 2017 -A pick 6 TD in 2017
That's part of the reason why i think it's unreasonable to expect us to hold a playoff caliber team under 17 points. We might do it, like OSU a few years ago, but most likely we won't.

Did he make all of these lines under ten because he can’t count to ten?

That's pretty absurd. ND is good this year

but they aren't as good as any of those 3 teams and they also have a lower ceiling than those teams.

So ND struggled with Vandy but can compete with Bama?

In fairness to ND they have looked way better with Ian Book at QB
Oct 11, 2018, 1:11 PM

and he wasn't starting yet when they played Vandy. I still dont think ND is quite as good as Clemson, OSU, or UGA not do I think they can really threaten Bama, but they are quite a bit better now than they were in their first 3 games.
